In addition to help improve the quality of health of the Indonesian people, Daewoong has also taken active steps to advance Indonesian education. Through the Daewoong Foundation, this was realized by providing a total scholarship worth USD 55,000 to outstanding students who were studying at the University of Indonesia (UI) and the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).

The final selection process resulted in the selection of 20 ITB students from the School of Pharmacy, the School of Technology and Biology, and the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and 35 UI students from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, and Faculty of Medicine.
